Application filed February 23, 1923. Serial No. 620,617.

[0 a?! whom it may; concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY lV. Fisirnn, a citizen .of the United States and a resi dent of the borough of Manhattan, city of New York county of New York, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Jewelry, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to jewelry and processes for manufacturing same, and more particularly to that class of jewelry that is ornamented with steel points and is generally known as steel pointed jewelry.

Heretofore jewelers i'n ornamenting jewelry with steel points have limited the use of such points almost entirely to buckles such as shoe and belt buckles or sue 1 articles as did not come in contact with the fine and delicate fabrics of the wearing apparel of the jewelry user. This has been necessary because of the means heretofore employed in securing thesteel points to the body portion or backing of the articles of jewelry. To secure such points holes were drilled through the body portion wherever the steel points were to be placed and prongs secured to the steel points were driven through such holes, the projecting ends of the prongs being bent over or riveted to the back of the body portion. Despite the great care used in smoothing down the rivet heads on the back of the body portion, these rivet heads would catch and tear any fine fabric to which such jewelry was attached. An object of my invention is the production of articles of jewelry ornamented with steel or similarly lustrous points that do not require drilling the body portion of the article of jewelry to receive the points thus leaving the back thereof perfectly smooth.

Further objects are economy in manufacture and case and rapidity of assembly.

Other objects and advantages of my invention will appear from the following description.

I will now describe the embodiment of my invention illustrated in the accompanying; drawing after which I will point out my invention in claims.

Figure 1 of the drawing is a plan or face view of a strip or sheet of suitable metal from which the steel or other metal points orprnamentations are for ied. v

Figure 2 is a plane or face View of a row of such pen-its after they have been. formed and cut er trimmed.

Figure 3 is a sectional elevation taken on the line 33 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a sectional elevation similarto that shown in Figure 8 but showing the hollow back filled with sold-er.

Figure 5 is asectional elevation taken on the line 55 of Figure 8. V r

Figure 6 is a sectional elevation taken on the line 66 of Figure 8.

Figure 7 is a plan or face view of a portion of a perforated plate forming the back ing or body portion of an article of jewelry manufactured according to my invention.

Figure 8 is a plan or face view of a portion of a completed article of jewelry.

In manufacturing steel pointed jewelry, the backing or body portion is generally completely covered with the pointed ornamentations so that when in use the points only are visible. To enhance the eifect of the points it is usual to adopt open work designs of many kinds. In such instances the backing or body portion forms a skeleton or frame that is adapted to receive the points- In manufacturing jewelry according to my invention I take a strip of suitable metal 1 and by a stamping operation form any desired points thereon. These points may be formed singly or in single rows or in multiple rows as desired. The points 2 are provided with hollow backs 3. The hollow backs are then filled with solder 4. The points 2 filled with the solder 4c are then placed on a backing plate or body 5 in such position that openings or perforations 6, in the plate 5, are not covered. A blow pipe or torch is then applied to the points 2 and the solder melts and upon cooling secures the points to the backing 5. The solid portion of the backing 5 is completely covered with the points 2, the perforations 6 forming an open work design.

It is obvious that various modifications may be made in the en'ibodiment f my invention above described within the principle and scope of my invention.

Having thus described my invention 1 claim:

1. An article of imitation jewelry comprising a body portion and metal points soldered thereto. said points consisting of faceted shells having fillings of solder united to the shells and body portion.

2. a article or inetabpointed jewelry comp a perforce-n body pi. Lian llll faceted metal points soldered thereto, said points consisting of faceted shells containing fillings of solder united to the shells and body portion.

An article of jewelry comprising a metallic body portion having a plurality of perforations formed therein and spaced from each other, the metal of said body portion intern'iediate said perforations being intact whereby a plurality of ornament receiving areas are presented intermediate said perforations, a plu 'ality of ornaments carried by said ornament receiving areas, the ornaments each being of such a size that the area carrying the same is completely covered thereby, the ornaments being so positioned with respect to said perforations that said perforations appear intermediate said ornaments.

4. An article of jewelry comprising a metallic body portion having a plurality of perforations formed therein and spaced from each other, the metal of said body portion intermediate said perforations being intact whereby a plurality of ornament receiving areas are presented intermediate said. perforations, a plurality 0t ornaments carried by said ornament receiving areas, the ornaments each being of such a size that the area. carrying the same is con'ipletely cove-red thereby, the ornaments being so positioned with respect to said. perforations that said perforations appear intermediate said ornaments, said ornan'ients being pro- Vided with pockets and fillings of solder within said pockets, said solder being attached to said ornaments, and body portion for retaining said ornaments properly positioned upon said ornament receiving areas. In testimony whereof, I have afiixed my signature to this specification.
